Amazing location! The campsite even had wifi in the middle of the mountains haha! We booked during a rainstorm and still were very comfortable with our canopy over the entrance of our tent. Thank you so much!

Creek Crossing Camp
If you’re looking for complete disconnection from the modern world, Upper Lopez Creek offers a unique and raw camping experience—but it's not for everyone. This place is ideal for seasoned campers who enjoy solitude and don't mind rugged conditions. If you're expecting convenience or family-friendly amenities, this may not be the right choice.
### Pros:
* **Secluded & Peaceful**: Located deep in the mountains with only two campsites, this place offers unmatched privacy and quiet. The surrounding forest is beautiful and undisturbed, making it perfect for those who want to escape the city and embrace nature.
* **Truly Off-Grid**: No noise, no traffic, no distractions. Just you and the wilderness. For those seeking introspection or digital detox, it’s an ideal setting.
### Cons:
* **Challenging Access**: Getting there is not easy. There are 14 creek crossings, and you absolutely need a **high-clearance vehicle** like a Jeep. My SUV wasn't high enough—I cracked my windshield and may have caused undercarriage damage. Regular sedans or standard SUVs are not suitable.
* **Host Absence & Arrival Confusion**: When I arrived, the host wasn’t present. I had to honk and shout until a stranger helped guide me. It turned out he was the other camper, but the uncertainty was unsettling as it got dark.
* **There’s no cell signal, and the promised Wi-Fi didn’t work despite the host’s instructions. If you need to contact someone or use your phone for navigation, you’re out of luck.

Trout Corner
Excellent location right on the creek. Quiet, we were the only ones there. Short 15 min hike to Big Falls trailhead which is a great trail to a waterfall the kids had a lot of fun at. Cabana was great for all three of us to sleep, hot shower, bathroom.

Creek Crossing Camp
The site was very well kept, super pretty with water right through it. The trail nearby was also very nice and easy ! Unfortunately the description didn’t prepare us enough for the 14!! creeks you’ll drive through to get there and i definitely recommend 4wd. Communication could’ve been better as host told me we’d be the only campers but had others wake us up at midnight coming into the site. Our first day/night was good though.

We booked Trout Corner for 4th of July weekend and it was lovely! Host was friendly and responsive. The space was super nice and we could hear the creek the whole time. There a lot of little gnat flies but they don’t bite and once you light your fire they disperse. The spot is super close to the Big Falls Trail, which is a beautiful hike! Fair warning: the post says you don’t need 4x4 wheel drive but I would highly recommend 4x4 wheel drive. At least a car that has some clearance as you do have to drive through shallow parts of the creek. Overall, we enjoyed the privacy, nature, and the relaxing atmosphere! Would definitely book again!

We crossed the creek 13 times (I think😊) while we were driving towards Varonica's place hidden deep in the wilderness. We saw deer, a bear, domestic pigs and dogs on the way. Getting there was a true adventure!
Trout Corner was just what we wanted: an isolated place surrounded by nature. The soothing sound of the creek right next to the campsite was so relaxing to hear all night. Our dog loved running into the creek, and he was happy to sniff around without his leash.
We didn't even set up our tent, we just used the canopy that was already there.
There's an outlet with electricity. Bring an extension cord and you can have electricity inside the tent.
